Graceland executives have raised concerns over the authenticity of Elvis Memorabilia being sold by GWS Auctions
GWS Auctions, a notable auction house known for selling Elvis Presley memorabilia and connected to Priscilla Presley, is facing criticism from Graceland executives over the authenticity of some items.
'We know there was only one made, and guess what? We have it in our archives,' Weinshanker said in the report published on Friday, July 19. NBC confirmed this during a visit to Elvis’ Memphis estate, where they were shown the jacket and its receipt. GWS Auctions, based in California, gained fame for its Elvis memorabilia sales. Brigitte Kruse, the owner, developed a relationship with Elvis' ex-wife, Priscilla Presley, and even acted as her power of attorney. While Priscilla, 79, provided letters to verify authenticity for some items, Graceland notes that some were in Elvis’ possession long after their 1973 divorce. Priscilla and Kruse’s relationship has since deteriorated.
